Putting track marks
Track marks are put automatically as follows.
When recording from a CD or MD
The track marks are put onto the MD
corresponding to the tracks on the other
disc. (Track marks may not correspond to
track numbers with some discs.)
When recording from other digital
sources
5 seconds of silence is determined as the
division between two tracks and a track
mark is added.
2 seconds of silence is determined as the
division between two tracks and a track
mark is added.

Synchronizing recording with
the playback equipment
Synchronized recording
This method starts and stops recording at
the same time as the source being recorded.
One track synchronized recording
The first track on a CD is recorded and then
the unit goes to recording standby mode.
This is a convenient mode if you want to
record the first track off a number of single
CDs.

Before recording
Track marks
Like CDs, it is possible to select and play a
track on an MD by selecting its track
number. There are marks at the beginning of
each track, called track marks, that make
this possible. The period between each track
mark is called a track.
(See “Ways of adding track marks” on page
81 for details.)
The two methods of recording
Digital
This method records the digital signals from
CDs and MDs. Compared to analog
recording, this method makes it possible to
make recordings of higher quality. Purchase
an optical fiber cable (RP-CA2110A or RP-
CA2210A, sold separately) to record
digitally.
Analog
Use this method to make analog recordings
of digital material, CDs and MDs, and to
record analog sources such as the radio.
Purchase a line cord (RP-CAPM3G15 or
RP-CAM3G15, sold separately) to make
analog recordings.
